Free for everyone
Free QR menu and table ordering for restaurants — ₹0
A QR sticker on every table, a menu on the diner’s own phone with no app and no login, and every order checked by a waiter before the kitchen cooks it.
Free for everyone · ₹0 · no card · opening offer, until further notice · we do the setup
Nivasik’s QR menu and table ordering is free for everyone — ₹0 under an opening offer, until further notice. Each table gets its own QR sticker; a diner scans it with the phone camera, sees your menu and sends an order — no app and no login — and the order appears on the counter and the waiter’s phone.
By default a waiter reads the order back to the table before the kitchen sees it, so nothing is cooked for a table that did not order it.
From the scan to the kitchen
- Print the stickers: every table gets a QR code from Nivasik, ready to print and stick down.
- The diner scans and browses the menu by category, with a search, veg and non-veg marks, and photos where you added them.
- They send the order with a name and a mobile number. Before it goes, the menu is read again: a price that changed or a dish switched off is shown to them, and nothing is sent until they see it.
- It rings on the counter and the waiter’s phone within seconds, as an order to check — not yet on the kitchen screen.
- A waiter checks it with the table: “Confirmed — send to the kitchen”, change it, or “They did not order this”, which the table’s page shows them with the reason.
- The table’s page follows it: received, sent to the kitchen — and the bill is paid at the end, by cash, UPI on the bill’s QR, or card.
Why a waiter checks a QR order first
A QR order that goes straight to the kitchen is fast until a table says it never ordered the paneer that is already cooked. Holding a QR order until a person has read it back to the table costs a few seconds and saves the dish. It is a switch per counter — on by default — and an order the customer pays for at the counter is taken as checked.
A sold-out dish is refused too: switch a dish off and no phone, however long its menu page has been open, can order it.
The same QR idea, elsewhere
- Hotel rooms: a room’s QR lets a guest ask for towels or report a problem, and order room service — each request with one owner and a clock.
- Your own online store: a link for pick-up and delivery orders — see free online ordering.
- The bill: a UPI QR for the exact amount, paid to your own UPI ID, and a QR for a Google review.

What it does not do
Said plainly, before you start
- There is no online payment on the QR page: the table pays at the end, at the counter or on the bill’s UPI QR.
- The mobile number a diner types is not verified — no code is sent; the waiter’s check is the safeguard.
- A second order from a table that is already eating is a second bill, which the counter can merge with the first by hand.
- Ordering needs the internet on the diner’s phone and on your counter.

Other free ways to do this, and what they cost
Nivasik is not the only free way to do this. Each of these is worth knowing, and each has a cost that is not on a price list.
A free edition of a paid product
Some software has a free edition with limits on rooms, bills or users. Read what the limit is, and what happens to your records the day you pass it.
A free QR code that opens a PDF menu
Free and quick to make. It shows the menu and nothing else: the waiter still takes the order by hand, and a dish that sold out is still on the PDF.
A printed menu
Every restaurant has one, and it costs a reprint each time a price moves. The order still goes from the table to the kitchen by hand.

Questions people ask
Is there a free QR code menu for restaurants?
Nivasik’s table QR is free for everyone at ₹0, as an opening offer until further notice — not only a menu to look at, but ordering from the table, checked by a waiter and sent to the kitchen.
Do diners need to download an app?
No. They scan the table’s QR with the phone camera and the menu opens in the browser, with no app and no login.
Can diners pay on the QR page?
No. There is no online payment on the QR page; the table pays at the end at the counter, by cash, card or the UPI QR on the bill.
What stops a wrong or prank order reaching the kitchen?
By default a waiter reads every QR order back to the table before the kitchen sees it, and can turn it down with a reason the table sees. It is a switch per counter.
Can I print the QR codes myself?
Yes. Every table’s QR comes from Nivasik, ready to print on a sticker or a stand.
